However, like Prince Andrew (who also served in the Forces), he was not allowed to wear his military uniform to the state funeral, instead wearing a mourning suit. At the time, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said: "His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II." The only royal below the couple on the list is [Prince Andrew who was stripped of his royal title](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a38765699/queen-removes-prince-andrew-titles/)s following a sexual abuse allegation, although he denies any wrongdoing.

And of course a wayward second son is far less of an existential threat to the fabric of the monarchy than a wayward king.” “Harry and Meghan will get an invite to the coronation but they will be firmly seated in the cheap seats along with Beatrice and Eugenie, as they were at the funeral. It was a masterful operation in the service of which the Queen Mother, in particular, worked tirelessly. Charles will be ruthless when it comes to protecting the Crown, and that means keeping Harry and Meghan as far from the center of gravity as possible,” the former staffer told The Daily Beast. Now, however, the couple find themselves on the bottom two rows of the “The Role of the Royal Family” page, with Harry sharing the penultimate vertical with the Duke of Kent—and Meghan on the bottom line with Prince Andrew.
